We have featured articles about Jonas Hielscher's homebrew game called CollecTic. Not aware with this game? This very interesting piece of homebrew meat is actually a standout among the collective. CollecTic is a game that uses the standard features of the PSP, specifically on the handheld's ability to scan for wireless access points to the Internet which means that you'd have to really move around to play the game. Now whoever said that gamers are such couch potatoes?

CollecTic can be played anywhere where WLAN access points can be found by a PSP. The objective of the game is to search for different access points, to collect them and to combine them in a puzzle in order to get points. In the game, the player has to move around in her/his local surrounding, using her/his PSP as a sensor device in order to find access points. By doing this, the player is able to discover the hidden infrastructure of wireless network coverage through auditive and visual feedback.The game is designed as a single player game, but it can be easily played competitive after each other or at the same time with two PSPs.

The game is pretty different, and as they say, different is always interesting and interesting is always nice. So if you could use the workout, then you might wanna give this game a go so that you'll also be on the go. It also wouldn't hurt if you read the readme.txt that comes with the download.

With all that said, don't hesitate to hook us up with your suggestions, opinions and other what-nots through your comments. Have fun!
